Uniform, say, in unusually smart line (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regimentals

'uniform' is the definition.
(regimentals is a kind of uniform)

'say in unusually smart line' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'eg'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'unusually' is an anagram indicator.
'smart'+'line'='smartline'
'smartline' is an anagram of 'rimentals'.
'eg' going into 'rimentals' is 'REGIMENTALS'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
